This is something I have noticed in “Virt-Manager” and in “Inkscape”.
It’s happening in wayland. (I haven’t tested in X).
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Neither mouse nor using the keyboard works. I will have to click the menu item multiple times or use the arrow keys to get tot he correct menu.
But even then the menu item might not show the sub menu.
No problem in Plasms (X11), but I also experience this problem in Plasma (Wayland).
I’m wondering if there is anything we can do to make this better. Or if it’s just up to the devs of that project.

If I click menu items in inkscape, terminal prints message like this:
(org.inkscape.Inkscape:21914): Gdk-WARNING **: 23:53:14.136: Tried to map a popup with a non-top most parent
All application with this issue I found prints the same message Tried to map a popup with a non-top most parent, including virt-manager, inkscape, geany, gimp.
A workaroud is forcing x11 with GDK_BACKEND=x11 inkscape.
Where do I St this at?
This issue should be fixed in gtk 3.24.49. See commit 4e005ec603905b88439c387681d9ba13957182ac.
It does it in GTK apps and GIMP does it too.
It doesn’t do that under X.
To fix it in Wayland add “GDK_BACKEND=x11” to environment variables in the Inkscape launcher in the menu. Using Plasma, go to Inkscape in the menu then right click it and select “Edit Application”. Do not forget to click SAVE after you add it in the environment variables box.
That’s GDK_BACKEND=x11 without quotes.
GDK_BACKEND=x11
Thank you:
That worked for both apps.
No problem here in xfce wayland with wayfire windowmanager.
There is also a fix on KDE side, which comes in KDE Plasma 6.3.3. (Here is bug report.) It is available in Tumbleweed 20250313 snapshot, I no longer have this issue on plasma after updating.
